does anyone try install mac in their lappy here?

i suppose thats a stupid thing to do eh.. shud be impossible?? mac doesnt publish OS.. the OS itself is already included in their lappy..

guess he was refering to hackintosh

no idea about mac.. hahaa. nvr get in touch with it at all.. i just know mac are for ppl who have too much money... hahaa..

yup i was refering to it
still surfing the insanelymac now

thanks for replying

my guess is that display driver would be a big headache....

the last know ATi card that Mac uses is Radeon HD2000...

Mine's coming... real soon...

Hi all,
I'm thinking of getting one K50AB, wondering how is the performance. I've been using Phenom 9550 + 8800GT + 2.5GB Ram(I know it's odd), will I suffer if I were to buy and use K50AB?
Main usage - Graphics programming + 3D design (blender3d) + Gaming
Thanks

u'll probably want Dell Studio 15 instead...

when comes to work, Core 2 is still better...

i heard that newer batch of this model is assembled with better revision of amd x2 which reduces heat and slightly faster... am i right?

im quite interested in getting this model for medium gaming purpose..but im afraid the heat generated..

Whats the idle and loaded temperature of this laptop with newer proc?
Can any owner or experienced sifu clear my doubt?

Yeah, I know, but the difference is about 700RM, which is a decent amount to me...
Is the difference really big on processing speed? I just need to compile a moderately big program (which takes about 2 mins per compilation on my Phenom)?
Haihzzz, too bad I'm poorchie poor... Else getting myself a Alienware d hahaha...

@Riggo
I think you're referring to QL64 to QL65 upgrade, but I don't there's a huge difference in both the procs... I'm not 100% sure tho

I will be getting mine later in the evening, will do a general review on my 40ab
when i had a look at the laptop @ lowyat few days ago, I saw this sticker "25% cooler than body temperature"(or something like that)

Ive seen too many posts when they were enquiring about ASUS "Hows the heat?" i mean like..god... that problem was soooooo long ago, they think AMD wont do anything about it meh?

physical review from short glance..the built is solid, i really like the glossy finishing, HP-Pav-alike to me.. but they keypad materials look cheap, i havent really feel all the buttons yet, but they look cheap plastic.

LCD is awesome

pls KL dont so jam tonite, haha~

in terms of number crunching, imho K8 is abt the same lvl as a Pentium Dual Core T4000...

well, in ur case, K50Ab is ur best bet then... since u wan for both work and game... but pls dun compare with ur Phenom I... for a start it's a quad we re talking abt... theoratically speaking a dual with the same clock speed would take double the time, but Athlon QL-65 is only 2.1GHz, with no shared cache, plus it's a K8 instead of a K10, so expect no less than 5mins on the same program...

as for the difference between QL-64 and QL-65, the both ve the same clock speed, the difference lies in HT speed... QL-64 is 1800MHz while QL-65 is 2000MHz...

Yeah I know it's a Quad, I just don't know the responsiveness of the lappie, I'm an impatient guy...
I need the responsiveness when I'm doing interactive job (3dsmax, MSVS) hehe... I used my friends Pentium M, and got impatient REALLY REALLY quickly (It's like I'm going to burn the machine right the second I'm using them haha)...

well, u may want to find a friend with a Athlon x2 desktop rig and try out first, mainly to see how the difference in architecture and cache affects ur program's run time...... else i scare u may end up burning a new laptop...

but i cant see any seller selling QL65 so far at lyn..or im missing something? both of the laptop cost the same right?

try ask john jay and perfect starnger..

hi all,for those who want to buy k40ab..i selling this k40ab

@astria
I've been using PC since a long time ago (XT era haha)... I've got 2 X2 rig at my home too, they're still bearable... I think the QL65 is almost equals to X2 4400+ right? Cause I've got one at home, and if the performance is equal, then I think the laptop can escape the fate of being burnt by me hahaha...
